TECHNIQUES OF LOVE
Author of the new translation of The Tragedy of King Richard II that Jean-Baptiste Sastre is premiering in the Cour d'honneur, Frédéric Boyer says that he is looking for "a lyrical writing specific to a contemporary reception". He considers his latest book an attempt: that of talking about the amorous feeling. A mad prayer that touches Phaedra, Berenice but also through The Song of Songs, Teresa of Avila and the Kâma Sûtra, without leaving out personal memories, real or invented. An interlacing of intimacy and universality, desires of today and quotations from the past, literature, mysticism and philosophical thoughts to examine the most wonderful of mysteries.
